Redifining "Record".

The term "record" no longer solely equates to paper documents, time stamps, and handwritten letters or notes. And, as more types of digital information formats are introduced, including social media and instant messages, organizations continue to face exponential records growth. With the sheer volume of information assets that need to be managed, combined with the pressures of converging initiatives, constrained budgets and resources, the need for an evolution of records and information management is more critical than ever.

The Information Landscape is Changing Quickly.

With a drive towards Open Government in Canada, ministries and agencies are challenged to keep up with policies related to information management and governance. One key challenge is driven from the tremendous growth of records remaining born both physical and digital, which result in departments needing greater ability to manage and enforce policies and procedures.

Provincial ministries and agencies can rest-assured that these same security and IM compliant practices will equally help achieve their compliance goals.

Document Imaging and Management for Government

We know that scanning 100% of documents is rarely a prudent or cost effective strategy. That’s why we give you an intelligent approach to imaging and document conversion, tailored to meet your agency’s unique access and budget requirements. Frequently accessed documents are scanned and made available immediately; rarely accessed documents are not scanned until requested, and are then delivered through our Image on Demand service. This “pay as you go” approach minimizes conversion costs while still meeting your document access needs. Our document imaging services free up valuable resources and reduce your physical footprint, while ensuring information is accessible and usable for those who need to act on it. In turn, you can focus on fulfilling your department's mission critical tasks, delivering better service on ATIP requests, and enabling the migration to a modernized, electronic program.

Data Management Services
